Festival Montréal Baroque

Description

Old Montreal's Early Music Festival, Montreal Baroque offers a unique experience on North American soil: An opportunity to hear a series of magnificent concerts of music of the 17th and 18th centuries in appropriate and unusual settings. The festival has created several events worthy of Montreal, city par excellence, of festivals.....Snaking through the narrow streets of the Old City to the sound of a hundred flutes at the festival's Grand Parade, relaxing at a garden concert, catching a choral concert in a chapel or simply enjoying a street performance, this original festival gives a new cultural identity to Old Montreal, attracting international tourists and local music lovers as well as novices to Early Music. Created by Susie Napper, Montreal gambist and cellist, the festival works with the museums, members of the community and commercants to bring the architectural gems of Old Montreal to life with the sound of music!.
